Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ By the Day of Resurrection, 1 And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]. 2 What, does the human think We shall never gather his bones? 3 Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes. 4 But man would fain deny what is before him. 5 He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?” 6 So, when the sight shall be dazed, 7 the moon eclipsed. 8 And the sun and the moon are joined, 9 On that Day shall man say: whither is the fleeing. 10 No indeed; not a refuge! 11 With your Lord alone will be the retreat that Day. 12 Man will be apprised, on that Day, of what he has done and what he has left undone: 13 In fact man is a witness against himself, 14 Though he puts forth his excuses. 15 Move not thy tongue therewith that thou mayest hasten therewith. 16 Ours it is to gather it, and to recite it. 17 So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read. 18 Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]. 19 Nay! But you love the present life, 20 And leave the Hereafter. 21 Some faces will be radiant on that Day, 22 Waiting for their Lord. 23 and some faces on that Day will be gloomy, 24 knowing that a crushing calamity is about to befall them. 25 Yes indeed, when the soul will reach up to the throat. 26 And it is cried. who can charm? 27 He will then realise it is the parting, 28 When legs are twisted around each other, 29 that will be the time to be driven to one's Lord. 30
